COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Deep South Pale Ale is Lazy Magnolia’s Pale Ale, a crisp and clean beer with the perfect balance of hops and malt. Its body and clean finish are ideally suited for all seasons, and the brew is moderately hopped for a great aroma and impressive finish. Deep South Pale Ale doesn’t fit into any category of Pale Ale, it’s a style we made up!

The Story
Deep South Pale Ale, formerly know as Reb Ale, was Lazy Magnolia’s first recipe designed to accommodate one, specific location. It was brewed in recognition of the overwhelming support of the Oxford, Mississippi market, home to the University of Mississippi. Oxford is a special place, deeply rooted in history and a vibrant center for the arts and Southern culture. Because of our consistent growth into new distribution areas, we had to change the name to accommodate our expanding. The label may not say Reb Ale anymore, however, we rebelled against style standards to come up with our own Deep South Pale Ale to make a beer for the rebel in all of us.

Oh, REB Ale! I was thinking this was the least red red ale I’d ever seen as it poured. Peaky, persistant head that lasts and lasts. Aroma of sweet oranges. Pine and citrus hop backbone with a nice bitter finish. Mighty fine.

had as the 5.3% Deep South from Rowdy’s .. damn, this was a slight gamble when i bought it but this was quite nice! .. pours a deep gold .. low foam .. nice nice bitterness level .. . just awesome!! .. . . I know a guy who’s addicted to brake fluid. But he says he can stop any time.

Bottle, sold as Deep South Pale Ale. Poured orangey amber with a medium sized white head that left behind a little bit of lacing. Aroma and flavor were American hops -- earthy, piney, some citrus -- and some doughy, caramel malt. Well-balanced flavors but nothing very distinctive. Medium mouthfeel.

bottled as deep south PA. clear orange with a huge, fluffy, cream colored head. dried pineapple with a hint of peppery spice in nose. not a lot of malt here. dry with some pine needles and a lemony note. musty and dusty. oddest faint hint of cinnamon.

Light orange pour with a large white head. Aroma is of citrus hops but has a bit of soapiness. Flavor has bisquit/bread malt flavors up front followed by light citrus. Defintely malt forward. It’s nothing extrordinary but it’s tasty.

Taste: Sugar-toned pale and pils maltiness with a shred of shredded wheat. Faint floral, citrusy hops with a medium-light bitterness. With a little time and warmth some light-colored caramel comes out (though not as much as expected from the nose). Closes out fairly dry with a bit of lingering bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.

Overall: A fine little ale; slender malts, sufficient hop character, and having an ease of drinkability.
